IN YOUR HEAD
not sure if my hybrid got it from laying on the rocks at that angle or from the resent mini cycle but it has it now. i took all the rocks out so it can't rest on them to help straighten it out with the aid of gravity. has anyone seen it get reversed before? i haven't seen it bent for long maybe a few days that i notice it after taking the rocks out. now i have the tank more open and rock free so hopefully it will go away with clean water and open spaces.
 
Have you checked for stray current in the tank? This will cause bent spine which I have never seen reversed.
 
i wont be attempting any fish bending. i'd try de surgery first.

there is nothing electrical in the tank i just added a heater to help bump the temp to see if that does anything. it isn't super bent, but i'd say it is at like a 30 degree angel or less. just enough to see it when its swimming but a lot when it is resting. it looks like it has a constant full stomach posture even though it is not the case.
